It's too bad that the Apes will no doubt have to retire and make way for your next team. ;-)<br /><br />The elves had to make ~5-6 die rolls (depending on if he needed 1 or 2 GFI's) in order to tie the game on the last turn. Even when you get pounded for 12 out of 16, it feels good to clinch that unlikely TD, so Kudos to the Elf coach.<br /><br />Also, the official name of the tournament was the "Celesticon Junior Colleges of Magic" (some subtle Warhammer humor there). Stop making up silly names, this is serious business! :-pDannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908489055542103460.post-57691719086636438002012-09-05T20:54:15.016-07:002012-09-05T20:54:15.016-07:00I really enjoyed the recap of all three games.

Until turn 7 when it started to hurt me as much as the elves to keep punching them ;) <br /><br />It would have been nice if I'd faced a strength team, so I could have played the other method with the team more, but in all three cases I was the slower, less agile one. <br /><br />Dark elves were one of the first teams I played- really enjoyed them- and they're an even better team now. Twice the blitzers and the runners (replacing the thrower) is an unusual piece. Plus they can field assassins normally now, stabbing daggers don't count as secret weapons. Good anti-wardancer piece: Blodger? just stab it.

He probably wasn't sure why he was there, waiting for a more worthy adversary. I would love an actual 'fling-poo' player for an ape team. Kind of like the goblin bomber, but throws poo instead! Rules? hmm.. If hit by Poo, the player must make a 'reverse agility roll' at +1, or leave the pitch to the reserves box so he can clean up.. why 'reverse agility'? so that elves only succeed on 1-2, where something like a Troll would succeed on a 1-4.. higher agility players tend to be more 'refined' and wouldn't play with poo on them, but lower agility.. trolls, ogres, dwarves- either wouldn't care or are more stoic and tough it out. The poo-lobber would have to roll a d6 each time- on a 1 he's kicked off the field, but just to the reserves box, since the Ref isn't sure how to rule it- it isn't a foul, not a secret weapon, just, gross ;) <br /><br />I have a whole lot of painting projects coming up, so I suspect we'll see your finished dwarves before mine. <br /><br />Thanks Styx :) <br /><br />MRLee: For me too, they really felt like an *ape* team, I wasvery happy about that. <br /><br />Thanks Tomsche! That kid cracked me up, he couldn't have salted the wound more if I'd paid him :) Not sure what age Tact kicks in, but clearly not by 5 or 6. <br /><br />Michael: Seriously, how many elves is too few to no longer be a scoring threat? I think it is 1.
